The rules have not been changed by the Vatican to suit many modern lifestyles... So, a lot of catholics ignore church rules along with other structure that just doesn't work out for them...
Would that make a practicing cathoic breaking the rules...
a hypocrite? a sinner?
If a catholic commits a sin, they must confess their sin to a priest before they can recieve any other sactraments....
(such as the sacraments of communion, marrage, ect...)
However.... if the catholic plans on continuing the sin, they can't ask for forgiveness in the sacrament of pennance....
Therefore who is catholic choosing to live in sin against the church may recieve no sacraments & attend mass only to pray.
Statistics would have 75% of adults using a bith control... 40-50% divorsed... 20% (or more) cheating on a spouse....blah, blah, blah...these are all sins against the church)
Dose the catholic church create sinners?
Or are humans just prone to sin?
